I've been receiving 3-4 phonecalls per week from call centers where the caller is always Indian and they're all calling about a special promotion from one of the big three telecom companies.

I actually registered my phone on the no call list from the federal government. I'm not even a customer of the big three. (Videotron in Quebec ftw) So I shouldn't be receiving these calls. I've also asked multiple times not to be called again. But they still call.

Has anyone else had this issue? How did you deal with it?

Oh that's interesting. I'm going to ask my service provider if that's an option.

I think it's "call screening" or something like that. I have a client to has the same feature on their phone for a business line, and he said he hasn't had spam calls in years.
